Observing my father & uncles tractor buying in the
50's-60's, the 460 had a costly update kit for the
rear end, or you replaced bearings yearly. This
one was harder to keep running than the 560, which
sucked gas, but the 350D must rank as a tie with
the 460, for repairs.
In retrospect,reading of tractor history, I-H was
considering faze-out on tractors, in 1956, as
Deere attempted a merger with MHF, who had the
Red Seal Continental Diesels, that actually ran.
The I-H pause in R & D, left it to catch up, as
both Greens had large row crop(80-90 HP)models
out by 1960. The 806D was a 1962 model. Talking
of tractors, seems like Politics, plenty of
opinions. Once you retire, sell the colors, you
can give more objective opinions. Most tractor
owners feel they own the best, no matter how many
teardowns. The most dependable diesels,in tractors
of the 50's were the Cat Diesel crawlers. Amen.
